I think it's because of the obvious fact that he is a complete rip off of Ryu from Street Fighter. At least in terms of appearance. Gameplay is obviously a little different, but I can see many people dismissing Ryo as a second-rate Ryu wannabe. Even I was guilty of having that mentality at some point.

[@sladejosephwilson2300]

I love this super. It's one of the reasons why I mained him.

[@carlosaugusto9821]

It was the most revolutionary move of its age. Not only for being a super in the early 90s. The looks, the fact its a low life move, and its not just a big fireball or a buffed Srk, etc. And most importantly its not an "automatic" move - its single hit that has to connect and then trigger a whole animation. That's important because Capcom was late to put supers in SF (2 years is a LOT in the 90s gaming scene) and even so, all their supers were just a cheap duplication of moves or a cheap buffed move, like Ryu and Ken supers. It took a while for Capcom to make interesting SF supers. Plus, skipping to nowadays... Looking how supers work in MK, TK, SC, DOA, and even SF (most of SF5), we can realize that most of the fg world became modeled by Ryuuko Ranbu. It's a plain hit that, if connected, triggers a whole elaborated animation.

[@pakkuman1]

I wish they'd incorporate both so that Ryo could changes stances mid-fight, maybe gain access to modified specials/supers based on past games.

[@carlosaugusto9821]

@@pakkuman1 The only practical solution is bring back Ex chars, the original "variations" (used in MK) that were invented by SNK in the 90s. Basically means the alternate version of one char is hidden in the same slot - it doesnt waste other slots like Ryu and E. Ryu in SF4. The char has a different moveset and supers. The last time SNK used the idea was in KoF 13, where you can pick Ex Kyo (based on the Nests Kyo), Ex Iori (classic Iori with flames) and Ex Takuma (Mr Karate).

[@pakkuman1]

@@carlosaugusto9821 That's true. I saw the stance change concept in a MUGEN version of Ryo, so I thought it seemed pretty cool. Though given the amount of production it'd take for a whole new animation set, it'd probably be easier to make those EX chars after all
